This flour-free orange and lavender cake recipe is taken from Eric Lanlard’s book Home Bake (page 39). The flavours marry together beautifully to make this delicious cake.&nbsp;&nbsp;If you prefer a cake with a slightly less dense texture, substitute 50% of the ground almonds for semolina.

Flour-free Orange & Lavender Cake

This is John Whaite's version of a classic cherry and almond cake. John says he always uses dark cherries soaked in kirsch because their flavour is intense and boozy. When he drains the cherries he keeps back the syrup to add a sweet kick to his coffees. The crumble topping adds another almond dimension in the form of crunchy amaretti and flaked nuts. Serve this with a dollop of tangy crème fraîche. Taken from Comfort by John Whaite, published by Kyle Books. Photography by Nassima Rothacker.

Cherry & Amaretti Crumble Cake

These easy orange sponge cakes are flavoured with orange blossom water for a delicate flavour. They are quick to make and look great in an afternoon tea spread. Making mini versions of a large orange or citrus cake means they bake a little quicker and icing is a little easier. Make sure these little cakes are completely cool before even thinking about icing them to keep that shiny smooth and glossy finish.
